The Bears see several curveballs in our latest mock draft. How do they respond?
The curveballs came early for Poles and co. Before the Bears ever made it on the clock, two of the top offensive tackle prospects came off the board , as did Jalen Carter and all four of the most highly touted QBs . Poles really wants to trade back to acquire more picks, but with all that talent already gone, nobody’s interested in moving up. Resigned that he’ll be unable to make a move, Poles looks at his board and takes the highest-graded player left. It’s Witherspoon.
Witherspoon is a heady player with the instincts to play well in a zone scheme, and the talent to play in man coverage. Last season he was nearly unbeatable and gave up just 22 catches on 62 targets and a 25.3 passer rating when targeted, per PFF. Witherspoon didn’t allow a touchdown all year, and notched three interceptions. Adding Witherspoon also allows Kyler Gordon to focus on playing slot, where he improved as the year went on.
